Topic: World Series - Your Choice (Read 770 times)

Okay, who you rooting for in the World Series - Texas Rangers or SF Giants. I am rooting for the Texas Rangers. What a story - from bankrupcy to the World Series for the Texas Rangers; and don't forget the heart of the team Nolan Ryan -that is a story in itself. So I will be rooting for the Texas Rangers. And who will you be rooting for: Rangers or Giants?

As a side note: Didn't it just warm you heart to see the Phillies defeated in their own ballpark by the SF Giant and the disappointed Phillies fans----what goes around, comes around...

I don't really have a feel for who i will be rooting for. I probably should root for the Giants, but I like a lot of the Rangers players - really their entire line up as well as Wilson, Oliver, and O'Day (Game 1 ALCS stunk). I will guess this will be one where I will just watch and enjoy.

I have a tough time picking one here. Both have performed a tremendous public service in their defeat of more formidable and storied foes. I would like to see the NL win generally, but rooted for the Rangers when I lived in Dallas for a couple of years, and consider them my AL team, though I'm far from rabid about it. The Giants fans were pissing me off when they were such unapologetic backers of Barry Bonds just a couple of years back, but I have nothing but admiration for the way both teams were constructed, and have performed.

I'll watch with eager interest and let my emotions run where they take me.

I rooted for both in the LCS... I don't know who to root for now. Neither Texas nor San Fran has ever won a World Series (the Giants did, but San Fran has not). I'll be happy either way for the winning team. My prediction is Texas in 6 though.

Giants, no question. First and foremost, they are the NL team. I will root for any NL team in the WS except the Phillies, since the AL doesn't play real baseball. Second, how can you not root for a team of losers and castoffs like the Giants. A team where Cody freaking Ross, a placed on waivers pickup from the Marlins of all teams, is NLCS MVP. A team where you have a long haired pothead as the pitching ace?

And finally, because the Rangers still and always will be Short's PoS franchise that's the reason I and so many others grew up without baseball. Just because he's dead and gone, its still the same franchise that killed so many hearts in 1971.

Why would a Nationals fan root for Cody Ross? He was definitely a Nationals killer.

At least the Rangers got rich off of dealing Dorkface for Feliz, Andrus, and other pieces like Harrison and Salty. Still it is unbelievable that the Rangers were able to waive Cruz off their roster in 2008 and no one claimed him (he went on to be PCL MVP that year).

Why would a Nationals fan root for Cody Ross? He was definitely a Nationals killer.

Because he's a great player, who got claimed off waivers in the middle of the season, and has gone on to wild success? As long as he's not playing the Nationals, that doesn't factor in remotely. As bad as this team has been, who hasn't been a Nationals killer? If I started rooting against anyone thats had success against us, not only would I end up rooting for no other teams in baseball, I'd also be rooting against half the players on the Nationals at some point.

One more day, can hardly wait -the World Series begins - first game-it may be a slaughter by one team or the whole series may be close - can't wait to see how the Giant pitchers pan out - I mean the Texas Rangers did beat the big old bad Yankees......I wonder how many HRs Josh Hamilton will make - I wonder how many strike-outs Cliff Lee will get.......And not to leave the Giants out, how about that tough -looking closer they have - whoa.....now, Brian does look like a nasty boy.......
